    Background:

    • Physicians have legal and ethical obligations to inform patients about medical procedures.
    • Informed consent is a cornerstone of patient autonomy and ethical medical practice.
    • Exceptions to informed consent exist in specific circumstances, such as emergencies or patient incompetence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the legal and ethical framework of informed consent in healthcare.
    • To explore the conditions under which informed consent can be waived.
    • To highlight the dual benefits of informed consent: protecting patient rights and promoting well-being.
